About eqMac
eqMac processes all audio on a Mac before it reaches the output device. The free tier offers a basic bass, mids and treble equalizer, a 10-band equalizer and reference presets for more than 4,600 headphones.
The Pro tier adds an unlimited-band parametric equalizer with a spectrum analyzer, a per-application volume mixer, spatial audio simulation, separate left and right channel equalization, presets that switch automatically by output device or app, and Audio Unit hosting. It runs on macOS 10.13 and later on Intel and Apple Silicon.
